Inflammatory Cytokines Impair Glucagon Expression and Secretion in Pancreatic α‐Cells

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims Insulin resistance and obesity‐associated inflammation are key drivers in the pathogenesis of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Whilst inflammatory cytokines are well known to impair β‐cell function, their impact on pancreatic α‐cells and glucagon (GCG) regulation remains poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the effects of the

The aesthetic sublime of megaproject structures: A framework and a research agenda

European Management Review, EarlyView.
Abstract The physical structures of megaprojects—such as mega‐canals, metros, railway lines, bridges, tunnels, and iconic opera houses—hold a profound capacity to generate aesthetic experiences with enduring societal impact. Yet, research on megaprojects has predominantly focused on functionality and economic rationale with aesthetics being pushed to ...

Genetic and Ecological Management of Pacific Salmon Fisheries for the 21st Century

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Based on ecological adaptation theory, tremendous effort is being spent on measures that are eliminating salmon hatcheries and fishing opportunities with the intention of protecting wild runs deemed to be of particular genetic importance to the survival of the species.

Development of a Nano‐Hybrid Composite Using Bovine Hydroxyapatite and Montmorillonite for Endodontic Applications—An In Vitro Study

International Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Hydraulic calcium silicate cements are widely employed in endodontics due to their excellent biocompatibility, bioactivity, sealing ability, and remineralisation potential. However, currently used products such as mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) exhibit several limitations, including discolouration, cost, and poor handling properties ...

The state of knowledge on four families of Syngnathoidei fishes (Teleostei: Syngnathiformes): Aulostomidae, Centriscidae, Fistulariidae and Solenostomidae

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Knowledge on the ecology and life‐history traits of coastal marine species is vital to inform their conservation and management, especially as their coastal habitats come under increasing threats. However, such data have never been collated for four of the five families in the suborder Syngnathoidei—the close relatives of the better‐studied ...

The tympanic covering layer contributes to basilar membrane elasticity potentially influencing human frequency resolution and speech perception

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
In this study we show for the first time that the human basilar membrane contains elastin produced by the so‐called tympanic covering layer. It is believed to play an important functional role in human cochlear tuning, particularly low frequencies linked to our remarkable speech and music perception.

Intentionality and Attentionality Dynamics in an Institutional Change Process

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract In this article, we explore how actors' intentionality emerges, develops, and co‐evolves with institutional change. Although intentions are essential in shaping institutional change agents' motivations and actions, our understanding of their dynamics is limited and biased by the assumption that intentions are usually identifiable prior to ...
